A great weekend of polocrosse for Carrickmines!

Four of our players were out representing the club at Silver Spurs Polocrosse Club tournament last weekend.

Duncan, Will and Dale battled through some tough games in C Grade to take a well-earned 3rd place.

Christina swapped the Carrickmines colours for the green jersey for the day, joining Dan and Lauren to support the Limerick team in D Grade, who finished 2nd.

Plenty of hard-fought games, good competition and a great chance to get out on the field with players from across the country.

A huge thanks to SilverSpurs for hosting the tournament and to everyone who played, umpired, organised and supported over the weekend.

We're getting ready for nationals now so see you all there!
